susanjohanknecht  is an artist and writer working under the imprint of Gefn Press. She is interested in the book as a site for poetic and collaborative practice. Her upcoming project ‘Cunning Chapters’ co-curated with Katharine Meynell, is a series of artists’ chapters thematically linked by ideological concerns of ‘well madeness’, loss and conservation in the production of art work, using a combination of technologies. It will be launched at the British Library in October 2007.

A retrospective of the Gefn Press is currently being held at the Bailey/Howe Library, University of Vermont and this will tour to Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, in autumn 2008. Susan Johanknecht is Subject Leader of MA Book Arts at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London.
